Christian Reader,
I Can assure thee from my own knowledge, that this Mr. John Janeway was an excellent person, in respect of his natural parts, acquired gifts, and divine graces, wherewith his heavenly Father ⟨image 12⟩adorned him (considering his age) even far above the ordinary rate of the best sort of Scholars and Christians: All which he exceedingly improved for the good of others (especially in his near Relations) both in health and sickness, even to the last hour of his life. And when the immediate forerunners of death was upon him, he so acted faith and composedly, (without the least show of humane frailty) as if with bodily eyes he saw the holy Angels standing before him, ready to receive and carry his precious soul into his Fathers glory. Verily he was most lovely in his life, and yet more lovely at his death, the like I never beheld neither before nor ⟨image 13⟩since. And I doubt not but the serious consideration of this narrative of his life and death, will (through Gods blessing) beget a zealous imitation of this Saint indeed, in every good Christian which reads the same; which that it may do, is the hearty prayer of thy friend in the Lord Jesus,
